Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

After flying for several hours, the two finally arrived at the mountain gate of the Stepping Moon Immortal Sect.

The mountain gate is majestic, surrounded by clouds and mist, and a strong spiritual pressure is overwhelming. The entire Stepping Moon Immortal Sect has done an excellent job in its appearance.

Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai landed in front of the mountain gate, and immediately a disciple guarding the gate came forward to ask questions.

"Two seniors, what brings you to my Moon-stepping Immortal Sect?"

The gatekeeper disciple asked respectfully.

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly, handed over his business card and said.

"Next week, Yiqiao, this is Li Mubai. We two have important matters to attend to and need to see your clan leader. Please inform him."

Adhering to the principle of courtesy before force, the two did not show a tough attitude right away.

Of course, how long this attitude can last depends on whether the Moon-stepping Immortal Sect in front of them knows what's good for them.

The gatekeeper disciple took the name card and felt the pressure from Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai, which was as deep as the sea and far exceeded that of the sect's supreme elder. His expression changed suddenly, and he did not dare to be negligent at all, and rushed into the mountain gate, crawling and tumbling.

Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a flowing robe and with an elegant temperament walked out quickly.

This person's brows revealed an extraordinary immortal demeanor, and it was obvious that he held a highly respected position in the Stepping Moon Immortal Sect.

He saw Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai from afar, and a smile of surprise and politeness immediately appeared on his face. He walked forward quickly and bowed.

"You two seniors have come from afar, which really brings honor to the Moon-Stepping Immortal Sect."

"I am Wang Yiming, the great elder of the Stepping Moon Sect. The sect master has learned of the arrival of the two seniors and has specially ordered me to come and greet them."

"Please follow me, the two seniors. The sect master has been waiting in Lingxiao Palace for a long time."

The elder's attitude was very polite, and it was obvious that he attached great importance to Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai's cultivation in the realm of refining emptiness.

Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai followed the elders to the main hall of the Stepping Moon Immortal Sect. The hall was magnificent and full of spiritual energy, showing the prosperity of the sect.

The sect leader was sitting in the main seat. When he saw the two people coming, he stood up to greet them personally.

"It is truly an honor for our Stepping Moon Sect that the two elders have come from afar. I, the younger generation, the Stepping Moon Sect's Sect Master Liu Changzhi, am sorry for not welcoming you in person. I hope you will forgive me."

Zhou Yiqiao took a step forward and bowed.

"Master Liu, you are too polite. I will be next week at Yiqiao. This is Li Mubai."

"We two came here to ask the Sect Master about something about a small town under your Sect's jurisdiction."

"Senior Zhou, Senior Li, please take a seat."

When Liu Changzhi heard this, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but then he regained his peaceful smile.

He raised his hand slightly, motioning for the two to sit in the VIP seat on the upper left.

After Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai sat down, he personally poured two cups of spiritual tea for them. The fragrance of tea filled the air, and it seemed to have the effect of refreshing the mind and improving cultivation.

"Which town are you two seniors talking about?"

"Although my Moon-Stepping Immortal Sect has jurisdiction over a vast area and many small towns, if you can provide me with some clues, perhaps I can answer your questions more accurately."

Liu Changzhi's tone was gentle and his words were cautious.

Zhou Yiqiao took a sip of the spiritual tea, feeling the spiritual power contained in the tea slowly blending into his body. He then nodded slightly and described the situation of the town in detail.

After hearing this, Liu Changzhi frowned slightly, as if he was recalling something.

"I remember that the town suddenly lost contact several decades ago. At that time, our sect sent people to check it out, but they found that the town was deserted and the residents were nowhere to be found."

Liu Changzhi said slowly.

"Since there is nothing special about the town, and there are no immortal cultivation resources within a hundred miles, our sect did not investigate too much, but just listed it as a forbidden area, just in case."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai cautiously, fearing that one of them would say that the town was their ancestral land and that the Stepping Moon Immortal Sect should be held responsible for dereliction of duty.

Fortunately, Liu Changzhi was nervous for a long time, but he did not hear similar words of blame from Zhou Yiqiao and the others.

Because while he was still brainstorming, Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai had already seen the confusion in each other's eyes.

The reason was simple. After hearing Liu Changzhi's description, the two were 70% sure that the disappearance of the town's residents was not as simple as they had imagined.

"Master Liu, I wonder if your sect still has any records about that town? Perhaps we can find some clues we are looking for."

Zhou Yiqiao asked again.

Liu Changzhi naturally did not have the courage to refuse the two senior Lianxu masters, so he nodded immediately.

"What the senior said is absolutely right. Although our Moon-Stepping Immortal Sect is not a place where thousands of books are stored, the records of the various places under its jurisdiction are still quite detailed."

"Since the two seniors are so concerned about this matter, I will immediately order someone to compile and send all the information about the town, including exploration records over the years, map annotations, and possible folk legends."

After saying this, Liu Changzhi clapped his palms lightly. A disciple standing beside him immediately understood and bowed and left the hall, apparently to carry out the order.

"Please wait for a moment, seniors. The information will be collected soon."

Liu Changzhi said with a smile, and at the same time secretly wondered in his heart why these two powerful Void Refining masters were so interested in an inconspicuous town.

Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai waited patiently in the Lingxiao Hall of the Stepping Moon Immortal Sect. Not long after, several disciples hurried into the hall carrying thick books and scrolls, and placed the materials on the desk in front of Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai.

"These are all the records about the town in the sect. Please take a look at them, seniors."

Liu Changzhi said.

Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai began to look through the materials carefully, hoping to find some useful clues.

They first checked the town's geographical location and historical changes, and then looked through the exploration records over the years, but there seemed to be nothing special to discover.

Just when the two were at a loss, Zhou Yiqiao suddenly felt a slight movement of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his sea of ​​consciousness.

With a thought, he probed his spiritual consciousness into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and discovered that Hunyu was pointing at a name in a record with an excited look on his face.

"Master, I seem to have heard this name somewhere before..."

Hunyu's voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that this was an important clue to him.

Zhou Yiqiao immediately took out the record and handed it to Li Mubai and Sect Master Liu Changzhi.

This record mentions a person named "Zhao Tiezhu", who is said to be a blacksmith in the small town. The weapons he forged are quite famous in nearby villages.

"Zhao Tiezhu..."

Li Mubai muttered to himself, as if searching for the name in his memory.

When Sect Leader Liu Changzhi saw the name, he was slightly stunned, and then seemed to remember something. He quickly flipped through other information and finally found the record of this name in a tattered book.

"Zhao Tiezhu, it turned out to be him!"

A look of understanding appeared on Liu Changzhi's face.

"I have heard of this person from my predecessors. He is not only a blacksmith in the town, but also a cultivator. Although his cultivation is not high, he is a well-known figure in the town because he has mastered a weapon refining technique. The sect also left a note for him."

As he spoke, Liu Changzhi whispered something in the ear of a disciple, who immediately turned and left. Not long after, he returned with an even more ancient scroll, which he gently placed on the desk.

"This is a list of independent cultivators who have stayed in the sect for a long time. It records in detail the various deeds and cultivation status of these independent cultivators in the sect. Please take a look, seniors."

Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai took the scroll and began to read.

After a while, the two closed the scroll, their eyes were deep and distant, and no one knew what they were thinking.

"It seems that if we want to understand the changes in the town, we can only start with Zhao Tiezhu."

Zhou Yiqiao said quietly.

"When was the last time he left the Moon-Stepping Immortal Sect? Did he leave any special clues or unfinished business?"

Li Mubai took over the conversation, his brows revealing a serious look.

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Liu Changzhi took back the ancient scroll, flipped through it again and again, and finally shook his head helplessly.

"According to records, the last time Zhao Tiezhu left a definite trace in the sect was twenty-five years ago."

"After handing over 100 spirit stones at the border market, this person headed to the nearby Blood-Draining Valley, saying that he wanted to hunt down some kind of demon beast to refine a magical weapon. Since then, there has been no news of him."

“Although the Blood-Draining Valley is not a dangerous place that everyone shudders at, it is still extremely dangerous for a Jindan cultivator like Zhao Tiezhu.”

"Even if Zhao Tiezhu is a genius who is obsessed with refining weapons, he shouldn't joke with his life and enter a dangerous place like the Blood-Draining Valley, right?"

Li Mubai noticed the weirdness at the first moment and questioned with narrowed eyes.

"Senior, please don't test me. This Zhao Tiezhu is not from our Moon-Stepping Immortal Sect. As long as he behaves well within our sect, no one cares where he goes after he leaves."

Liu Changzhi gave a bitter smile and quickly complained for himself.

"Master Liu, please don't get excited. Brother Li is just trying to find out the truth and is a little anxious."

Zhou Yiqiao interrupted at the right time to ease the atmosphere.

"No matter what, now all the clues fall on Zhao Tiezhu. We must find him, or at least find out what happened to him after he entered the Blood Valley."

Li Mubai nodded, and the two asked Liu Changzhi for detailed information about the Blood-Sucking Valley. They politely declined the other party's offer to send disciples to accompany them, and left the Moon-Stepping Immortal Gate as quickly as they came.

After sending away the two plague gods who could destroy the Moon-Stepping Immortal Sect at any time, Liu Changzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Give the order. Starting today, the sect will add a task to collect clues about Zhao Tiezhu and other related things."

"Make sure to mobilize all disciples traveling outside, especially those who frequently travel between border towns and dangerous areas, to keep an eye out for any news related to Zhao Tiezhu."

The disciples beside him nodded and left, and Liu Changzhi finally put his heart at ease.

"I hope everything goes well for the two seniors, and don't let this get us, the Moon-Stepping Immortal Sect, involved..."
